Fall Festival 2007
You can see pictures from the 2007 Fall Festival  in our photo gallery.
What is the Fall Festival?
Fall days at Bethany are special. Leaves are turning and the campus is abuzz with activity. You'll find that unique atmosphere and more when established Bethany traditions are combined with some exciting new events to create a fun-filled weekend in September.
Join us during the weekend of September 21–23, 2007, for the Bethany Fall Festival. Many events will take place during the Fall Festival including Family Weekend and Alumni Reunions (those alumni who graduated in a calendar year ending in a “2” or “7” will celebrate) and all alumni are invited to be part of the weekend. Those attending will enjoy great events like Arts on the Green, Theatre Physics, and baseball and softball games. Alumni won't want to miss the reunion reception with hors doeuvres where the Distinguished Alumni Award will be announced. The Hall of Fame Banquet will honor four former Bethany Viking athletes for their achievements.
Campus tours, movies, and music events are also scheduled.
There will be something for all ages. Come for a day or come for the weekend-you'll have a great time and will enjoy being back at Bethany during a special time of year. We'll see you in September for a weekend full of memories and fun.
